In addition, I have the feeling that they assume a paved runway when
they mean 'sufficient'. Imagine a plane with just "sufficient" power:
It's dangerous to get it airborn, close to stall speed - and it just
flies horizontal. Absolutely no fun ! 
Keep in mind: You can always pull the throttle back !
